Divide and conquer game?
It seems to me that those who are supposed to be leading this company in the right direction and making it better are instead investing more efforts than ever in creating havoc among its employees. I hope that's just me, but I’m afraid DQ has never... — read more

Great to see someone grow a pair
Brilliant that big boy called out the CEO and management in the States about their behavior. Unfortunately they didn't have such a big pair and chose to not respond then delete and lock all comments.
Another management change
Little Tex timed his announcement to perfection, on the dot of 4:30 on Friday when 99% of staff had logged off for the weekend the email popped up regarding the departure of DQE’s senior plant manager, doubt if this is a good decision but again... — read more

Clearing this up
The people left are only in that sh– hole because they were the rubbish left !!! Good operators all went of on choice

What do you expect from people who work in such toxic environment? This place has been going down the hill for years now - politics, nepotism, verbal abuse... these are just a few things we need to deal with on a daily basis. Being able to vent here... — read more
Couldn't wait to start work today
